Rocket Homes, a real estate service provider within Detroit-based Rocket Companies (NYSE: RKT), announced its iOS app is now available on car, truck and SUV infotainment screens through Apple CarPlay.
According to the company, homes listed for sale can be seen in the “Nearby” tab of the Rocket Homes app on CarPlay. With a tap of the vehicle’s screen, drivers can easily get directions to the home, call an agent or save the listing to their “Favorites.” Once they reach their destination, users can easily take a deeper dive into the detailed photos and specifications of each home from the app on their iPhone. Rocket added that more than 98% of cars in the U.S. support CarPlay.
“The Rocket Homes app is making house hunting more convenient for busy homebuyers on-the-go,” said Doug Seabolt, CEO of Rocket Homes. “When looking for a new home, the search never stops – even when you are driving around town. That was the thought that led to this feature. Now, when home shoppers see a place that catches their eye, they do not need to remember an address, cross streets or a phone number because Rocket Homes has it handled for them.”
